It is with deep sadness that we at ArtsConnection share the passing of our longtime, beloved founding board member and cherished friend, Theodore S. Berger. Ted was a visionary advocate and unwavering champion for the arts and social justice and a mentor whose impact has shaped generations of cultural and civic leaders and young people.
